PREFATORY NOTE 


In the early seventies a group of young American art 
students, pursuing the exacting curriculum of the Antwerp 
Academy of Fine Arts, found themselves persuaded thai | 
there was something beyond the horizon which bounded the 
erypt-like class-rooms of that venerable institution, and 
began to look outside into the world of art, which they 
were soon to enter upon with the youthful anticipations of 
speedy success. ‘The mentor of this little coterie of enthu- 
siastic young men was a newcomer, himself a student, but 
a student with a more settled purpose and a more reason- 
able and logical ambition than any of us. Compared with 
his enthusiasm, our emotions seemed tame and cold; we 
dreamed over processes, he gloried in results. We believed 
in the school of the Netherlands with a faith that was al- 
most. religious; he awakened our interest and developed 
our belief in the school of France. Our ideas were cramped 
and narrow because we had been long preoccupied with the 
absorbing study of the rudiments of the profession; his 
views on art were broad because, although he could not yet 
claiin a place in the ranks of artists, he had been in close 
touch with some of the eminent men.in the profession and 
had gained from this intercourse a balance of judgment: 
which no student in the Academy possessed. That new- 
comer was Robert Crannel Minor, and, although he came 
as a stranger to most of us, his influence made itself felt 
at once. | 

He had been painting a year or two in America, latterly 
under the direction, of Alfred C. Howland,;. whose pro- 


ficiency was a great stimulus to his ambition. While work- 
ing with Howland he began to feel that if he was to make 
a success as a landscape painter, it was necessary for him 
to seek his inspiration at the fountain head. This idea 
grew until he could no longer resist the call, and he left 
New York and joined the colony of painters in Barbizon 
at the time when that school was in the apogee of its suc- 
cess. He worked hard for a season there under the per- 
sonal influence and more or less under the direction of 
Diaz until, probably overpowered by the splendor of the 
accomplishment of his master and recognizing his own lack 
of training, he came to Antwerp to study under Van 
Luppen, a landscape painter of wide renown and with an 
admirable technique. From him he learned the deliberate 
method of the Netherland school, and for a time it seemed 
as if he would be so influenced by this method that he 
would be in danger of losing that point of view in art which 
distinguished him above his fellow-students. But he was 
only acquiring the alphabet, and he had the good judg- 
ment to strike out for himself as soon as he had become 
familiar with the method which the Flemish master was so 
well qualified to teach. 

From that time to the end of his career he did not turn 
aside in any notable instances from his chosen path, and 
the influence of the Barbizon school of landscape, which 
was the strongest power in directing his efforts at the 
beginning, remained potent with him to the end. 

The collection of pictures he left behind him amply 
proves that he was an ardent student of nature and that, 
while he did not attempt to cover a wide range of motives, 
cither in composition or in effect, he was absorbed with 
the effort to express the charm of the hour when the land- 
scape takes on its most suggestive and enchanting aspect, 


the dawn or the approaching twilight. <A large propor- 
tion of his pictures are sunsets, and although he studied 
with equal ardor the effects of early morning, he was evi- 
dently fascinated by the more glorious color of the evening 
and by the mystery of twilight. 

The pictures listed in this catalogue comprise all the 
works which he left behind him with the exception of a cer- 
tain number of studies which the executor of his estate 
has decided to present to various art institutions. Among 
them will be found a variety of subjects, one or two recall- 
ing the period of his Belgian experiences and several in- 
teresting souvenirs of his travels in different parts of Eu- 
rope. ‘They chiefly represent, however, his artistic life in 
this country, where he found in Connecticut and in the 
Adirondacks motives which appealed to him as strongly as 
those in the Forest of Fontainebleau did to the group of 
landscape painters at Barbizon. These pictures are not 
topographical; they do not deal, primarily, with botany 
nor with the ordinary characteristics of the American land- 
scape. ‘They are as far as can be from the productions of 
the so-called Hudson River school. But they give us an 
interpretation of the charm of nature which depends little 
on latitude or climate, and he records for our enjoyment 
the rare effects of light and the rare combination of rich 
colors which those who have eyes may see in nature if they 
look for them. In these pictures may be read the story of 
his consistent and unflagging enthusiasm. Even in his last 
illness, when he was for a long time confined to his bed, he 
continued to work as much as his strength would permit, 
for his hand was steady, his mind was clear and his purpose 
intense. Almost to the last hour of his life he continued to 
paint, because, like a true artist, he was never satisfied with 


his efforts. FRANK D. MILLET.
